IVF HCG LEVELS maybe twins?

[tlh1104]

Just found out last Tuesday that my test came back positive HCG 142 which was 5/17 repeated it on 5/19 HCG was 420.  Today went to see the Dr again for check up and HCG was 3992.  This was my 3 IVF and placed 3 embryos on 5/9.  Do you think I could be having twins?

Please see below- on day 11 you should be able to see anything on a hpt.  Also some are more sensitive than others. Hang in there!  My nurse told me I could get a false negative- but if it was positive than I was pg!

3-DAY TRANSFER:

1dpt ..embryo is growing and developing
2dpt... Embryo is now a blastocyst
3dpt....Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day
4dpt.. Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining
5dpt.. Implantation begins,as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining
6dpt.. Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining
7dpt.. Morula is completely inmplanted in the lining and has placenta cells &
fetal cells
8dpt...Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood
9dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
10dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
11dpt...HCG levels are now high enough to be immediately detected on
HPT

5-DAY TRANSFER:

-1dpt ..embryo is growing and developing
0dpt... Embryo is now a blastocyst
1dpt....Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day
2dpt.. Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining
3dpt.. Implantation begins,as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining
4dpt.. Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining
5dpt.. Morula is completely inmplanted in the lining and has placenta cells &
fetal cells
6dpt...Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood
7dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
8dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
9dpt...HCG levels are now high enough HPT

From what I have read, it is very hard to tell with numbers unless they are off the charts.  My numbers were VERY close to yours (156 and 426) and from any info/charts I have seen online- they seem to be a little high for a singleton and average for twins.  It is a possibility!  However- I have also heard about the 'vanishing twin' syndrome- so that could be a factor.  I am hoping you get what you want!!!!!!!!!! Unfortunately, you can't really tell until the sonogram.  Congrats!  Keep us posted!

CONGRATS!!! Im so happy for you :) and it seems to be a good possibility.

I wouldn't be surprised.  The absolute number is not so significant (even singletons can have high numbers), but the rate of rise is nice and fast, which is a possible indicator.  When both of my embryos took, the numbers went up fast.  My RE warned me about "vanished twin," something often seen in IVF (not because it is more common there than with other twins, but because IVF so often starts with more than one embryo transferred, and with the early monitoring, they can see if one takes and then fades).  So do read up on that.  But it wouldn't surprise me if you have multiples now.  Good luck!

Hi,

it's too early to tell and only an ultrasound will confirm it.

however, considering they placed 3 embryos there is definitely a chance of twins.
